Chapter 687: Quick decision (for a reward of ten yuan to watch pirated copies, there will be ten thousand more rewards)
When Leonardo DiCaprio walked onto the stage, the applause became louder and louder, which was incredible.

Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei also applauded him, but many audience members not only applauded but also howled, making the atmosphere even more lively.

No matter how lively the awards ceremony is, it has to come to an end. With "Spotlight" winning the Best Picture, the 88th Academy Awards ceremony officially came to an end.

Zhang Yang picked up the statuette from the table and said to Liu Yifei: "Let's go up and take a photo."

Liu Yifei nodded and stood up, holding Zhang Yang's arm and walking onto the stage together. This was her first time walking on the stage today.

"Leon, congratulations!" Zhang Yang said to Xiao Lizi.

"I want to thank you for your blessing." Xiao Lizi said while holding the statuette in one hand.

"I seem to have blessed many people." Zhang Yang said helplessly.

"But I'm the first." Xiao Lizi said with a cheerful face.

"Leon, the domestic audience no longer has to feel sorry for you." Liu Yifei also said to him with a smile at this time.

"I think my award tonight won't be the only big news tomorrow, right?" Xiao Lizi looked at Liu Yifei and said.

Zhang Yang, on the other hand, pretended to be suddenly enlightened and gave the trophy to Liu Yifei. He took out a freshly written check and walked towards Chris who was handing out biscuits to people.

"Chris, here." Zhang Yang walked up to him and handed over a check for US$10 with a smile on his face.

Chris took the check with both hands with a smile and said sincerely to Zhang Yang: "Don't worry, director, I will definitely go over and take a closer look. Even if I have misunderstandings about Asia, I have been deceived by the American media."

Zhang Yang smiled and said to him after hearing his words: "I hope so."

Zhang Yang returned to Liu Yifei and at the request of the media, he held up the statuette and took a few photos of them. After chatting with acquaintances around him, he was ready to return to the hotel.

After walking a few steps, Xiao Lizi stopped Zhang Yang and asked, "Have you ever thought about joining the academy?"

Zhang Yang smiled after hearing what he said: "Leon, after you win the award, do you like to invite others to join the academy?"

"Has someone invited you? Then why didn't you join?" Xiao Lizi asked strangely.

At this time, Kate Winslet and others were also standing by, and they were also curious about the questions raised by DiCaprio.

"The time has not come yet." Zhang Yang said enigmatically.

"Hey, there's no need for you not to join because of Chris." Xiao Lizi said to Zhang Yang before the time was up and he obviously had a wrong interpretation.

Zhang Yang did not explain. Instead, he smiled and waved to them before returning to the hotel.

Zhang Yang actually had an overall plan for when to join the academy after being invited by Julian Moore last year.

He would join when an academy needed him and he needed the academy.

Under normal circumstances, the academy will not need Zhang Yang, no matter how big a name he is,

But the world is so strange. A black swan will fly out of the United States this year, and he and the Hollywood faction are mortal enemies.

Originally this had nothing to do with Zhang Yang, but in 19 he will take action against Douyin. If Zhang Yang wants to intervene in this matter, he will need to use Hollywood.

And Hollywood will surely enjoy watching Zhang Yang's public opinion war, and the two parties will hit it off by then.

Moreover, with Zhang Yang’s financial backing, Byte will not kneel down so easily, and Zhang Yang will not allow him to kneel down!
Of course, the situation is stronger than the people. The international version of Douyin is expected to sell a lot of shares to Americans, but by then the price may not be as low as in the original time and space.

And Zhang Yang will gain a lot of reputation from this incident, not only in the entertainment industry, but also his social influence will be greatly increased.

On the 29th, the entire peaceful world was discussing the Oscars. Originally, DiCaprio winning the Best Actor in 22 was the absolute headline, but Zhang Yang stepped in and intervened.

Zhang Yang wants to invite Chris to visit the Apple mobile phone factory in Asia. As a leader in the marketing industry, will Apple let go of this popularity?

So after Chris received a $100,000 check from Zhang Yang, he received an invitation from Apple. They officially invited Chris to visit the mobile phone processing factory.

This immediately made everyone's discussion about this matter extremely heated. Seeing how straightforward Zhang Yang was, many Americans felt a little confused about the issue of co-workers in Asia.

As for Zhang Yang winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, they didn't take it too seriously. Only Nortel's banner and Yangma's news report made everyone sigh again. Zhang Yang won another award.

Liu Yifei's failure in competing for Best Actress did not cause any splash, and many people even breathed a sigh of relief.

If Liu Yifei really gets it, another person who makes history will appear. This will leave other domestic colleagues how to live.

Zhang Yang's actions this time have also benefited many workers. The workers in Fujikang will have better food and new clothes.
As for how long this treatment can be maintained, it may not change until Chris visits.

Even in the afternoon, after Zhang Yang declined to join the academy, the discussion on this matter reached a higher level.

The American media said with certainty that Zhang Yang declined to join the Oscar Academy for the second time because of Chris's incident.

Even the first time Julian Moore invited him was picked out last year.

Zhang Yang, who was at the center of the storm, refused many invitations in the United States and returned to Beijing on the grounds that he was busy with a new movie.

But the matter about Chris is not over yet. Many Asian celebrities in the United States have begun to speak out.
First, Lin Kuang of the NBA expressed his dissatisfaction: He said that he could not tolerate this kind of blatant attack on Asians.

Then industry giant Li An also gathered a large number of Asians in Hollywood to submit a protest letter to the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Committee.

Facing the protests from Li An and others, the college simply issued a statement to apologize this time.
This statement is a bit perfunctory, just saying that we will do our best to ensure that culturally sensitive content will no longer appear in future live broadcasts.

Oscar's arrogance is really visible to the naked eye.

After Zhang Yang returned home to rest, the time came to the second day of March.
He arrived this morning. Currently, except for the personal team and the scarf management team, other departments have nothing to do. Zhang Yang came here mainly to visit the production team. When he arrived at the department, Zhang Yang asked them, "Is the scenery over there ready?"

"It's been better for four or five days."

"How is the recruitment of temporary staff going?"

"We have already recruited all the students in the school."

"Then you go over there today, hand over to them at the sugar factory, and make the final preparations on the way." Zhang Yang explained.

Everyone in the production department nodded and started to take action before Zhang Yang went home.

When he got home, Zhang Yang asked Liu Yifei, who was accompanying her children: "We are filming a movie this time, will you come with me?"

Liu Yifei put down the toy puzzle in her hand, looked at Zhang Yang and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted a quick victory?"

"Then it will take 20 days to go up!" Zhang Yang thought for a moment and said.

"It's only for about twenty days. I won't go if I want to spend time with my children." Liu Yifei thought for a moment and then refused.

Zhang Yang didn't force it, but looked at her son who was playing with her and said, "Since you have to stay at home with your child, today is mine."

After Zhang Yang finished speaking, he took off his shoes and went in to play with the child, pushing Liu Yifei aside.

"You take your time and play while I practice singing." Liu Yifei said decisively when she saw Zhang Yang competing with her to take care of the child.

"There are no new songs, what songs are you practicing? Do you want to hold a concert again?" Zhang Yang asked curiously when he saw Liu Yifei's attitude.

"I want to break through my own bottleneck again." Liu Yifei said confidently as she walked to the door of the room and put on her shoes.

"How come the Oscar-winning actress failed in her attempt to conquer the music world and turned to the music industry again?" Zhang Yang joked.

"This is also my hobby. I have to grab it with both hands, and I have to be hard with both hands." Liu Yifei made a virtual grasping motion with one hand, showing great momentum. Then he turned around and left very coolly.

Zhang Yang looked at the little guy in his arms who was still babbling at Liu Yifei's back. He lifted him up with his hands and said, "Why are you clinging to her like this? I'm not happy that I'm playing with you."

After the little guy couldn't see Liu Yifei, he started to toss Zhang Yang.

He knew that Zhang Yang would lift him up and fly, so he started another noisy day. Normally Zhang Yang would definitely ignore him, but this time he would be away from home for nearly a month, so he would fulfill his wish.

Zhang Yang took the little guy on a flight and he could stay safe for at least two hours. The amusement room was filled with the laughter of the father and son.

On March 3, Zhang Yang's private plane flew to Kaohsiung again. This time Zhang Yang lived directly in a sugar factory in Kaohsiung, so that it was more convenient for filming.

The person in charge of the scenic spot took special care of Zhang Yang and specially arranged the best large suite for him to stay in.

But when he saw the bodyguards following Zhang Yang, he was speechless.

Zhang Yang basically does not hire bodyguards in the mainland, but only hires them when he goes abroad. However, he still brings bodyguards with him every time he comes, which is intriguing.

After the person in charge of the scenic spot left, the assistant nodded to two of the four bodyguards, and they began to inspect the room.

It took more than an hour for the inspection to be completed, and then the assistant asked the person to send the luggage to the suite.

During this time, Zhang Yang happened to take a look at their scenery creation results.

Zhang Ai's family also came here in the afternoon. After the two met and exchanged pleasantries.

"Director Zhang, if you have any favorite actors this time, just tell us that we will never interfere. Use whoever you want." Zhang Aijia said resolutely.

"My Zhang, I don't know any local actors at all. Are any of the few I know suitable for acting in art films?" Zhang Yang said helplessly.

The actors Zhang Yang knows now all go to the mainland to develop. How can Zhang Yang know someone who only develops in the mainland.

Zhang Ai's family has actually known about this situation for a long time. She said this on purpose, otherwise how could she show her pride.

"Then how about I ask them to come here for an interview tomorrow?" Zhang Aijia asked directly.

Actors' schedules are not so easy to coordinate, but Zhang Ai's family is so straightforward. Zhang Yang looked at her and said with a smile: "It seems that you have been prepared!"

"It's appropriate to treat your movie by letting them prepare early." Zhang Ai's family stopped pretending after Zhang Yang saw through it.

"You haven't already read the script to them, right?" Zhang Yang suddenly asked.

Although Zhang Yang's movie is being filmed, he doesn't want them to interfere in the casting of actors.

After hearing what Zhang Yang said, the Zhang Aijia family quickly waved their hands and said, "They are all our actors. How can we favor one over the other and let them all rely on their abilities?"

"This time I have to choose the family of three carefully. The rest are very simple. I want to take this opportunity to take a good look at the quality of the current actors." Zhang Yang said.

"Then we'll see. I'll treat you to dinner today." Zhang Aijia invited.

"It's better to save the food after the filming is over!" Zhang Yang politely declined.

The purpose of his visit this time is very clear, there is no need to pay attention to these things.

Zhang Aijia was very happy to see Zhang Yang's energetic appearance, but at the same time, she couldn't understand what he was thinking.

Zhang Yang was on the Oscars stage a few days ago. He publicly prevented the host from coming off the stage, and humiliatingly gave him $100,000 to go on a so-called visit.
